POV Check tag

This important and recent source, http://www.miller-mccune.com/science_environment/50-years-after-nuclear-meltdown-1438 has been removed from the article, see [1], and generally the article downplays the whole accident. Johnfos (talk) 22:53, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. In particular, I find the 'comparison to other nuclear accidents' section problematic. The IAEA has not issued a INES value for the SRE partial meltdown, and it is inappropriate for a speculative value of 3 to be listed, especially as it seems downplay the severity. The advisory panel of scientists created in 2001 spent 5 years researching the incident and concluded that it likely released 459 times as many curies of radiation as the Three Mile Island disaster and resulted in 260 cases of cancer in the surrounding population, see http://www.ssflpanel.org/.

I am removing the invented value of a Level 3 INES classification.--IBrow1000 (talk) 00:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article reads like a power company press release on valium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.27.52.75 (talk) 19:09, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More sources tag

Many more references are needed in this article. Six paragraphs have no citations and many other points are unreferenced. The lead needs references too, see WP:LEAD#citations. Also, there is too much reliance on the Jarett interim report. A wider range of sources would be good. Johnfos (talk) 22:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arco, Idaho was the first city powered by a nuclear reactor

According to the article on BORAX-III, Arco, Idaho was powered for one hour on July 17, 1955. Little info is available. I am not sure if that was continued for more experiments, or whether the power grid was used, or what. In either case, this is way before SRE was even fueled. On another note, I think there is a Soviet claim to this, also, which predates Arco. I like to saw logs! (talk) 08:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
